WDA ( Wear Debris Analysis )

It is  method of trending and measuring of wear rate in machine through oil analysis. In which the solid contamination are separated from oil sample and  check the size & pastern  of wear particles through microscope.

  • Adhesive Wear
  • Surface Fatigue
  • Corrosion Fatigue
Shape of wear particles

  • Rubbing
  • Cutting
  • Fatigue

PARTICLE COUNTING

PARTICLE  COUNTING  Particle counting  is the technic used to monitor the solid contamination of new and in-service Oil. When implementing machine condition monitoring for machinery  lubricating oils , typically the first strategy you implement is contamination control.   Particle counting standards: which define permissible limit of contamination size and quantity in lubricating & hydraulic oil .  ISO 4406 Standard NAS 1638 standard ISO 4406 Standard: The ISO 4406/2000 classification of particle contents was introduced to facilitate comparisons in particle counting. Sudden breakdown in an oil system is often caused by large particles (>14 micron) in the oil while slower, progressive faults, e.g. wear and tear, are caused by the smaller particles (4-6 micron). This is one of the explanations why the particle reference sizes were set to 4 micron, 6 micron and 14 micron in ISO 4406/2000. A typical sample contains in every 100 ml of oil: 450,000 p...

Moisture content Water can exist in oil in three states or phases .   Dissolve Water emulsified water Free Water   Dissolve Water :-   Dissolved water, is characterized by individual water molecules dispersed throughout the oil. Dissolved water in a lubricating oil is comparable to moisture in the air on a humid day - we know the water is there , but because it is dispersed molecule-by-molecule, it is too small to see. emulsified water . :- Once the amount of water has exceeded the maximum level for it to remain dissolved, the oil is saturated. At this point, the water is suspended in the oil in microscopic droplets known as an emulsion . Free Water :- free water accumulates at the bottom of the lube system. IMPACT OF WATER CONTAMINATION ON LUBRICANTS • The presence of water in a lubricating oil can cause the progress of oxidation to increase tenfold, resulting in premature aging of the oil, particularly in the presence of catalytic metals such as copper, lead and...
